    Getting AI to Write an App

    Reading Time: 3 minutesYesterday I went to a talk where Claude and Cursor were used to write a Flutter app for Android. The idea is quite simple. "Claude help me write a to-do app and a shopping list app" before following the instructions produced by AI to write the app. When I watched this I…

    On AI and Corporate Social Responsibility

    Apple Intelligence and the Digital Divide

    Reading Time: 2 minutesLast night I attempted to watch the WWDC conference and failed. This wasn’t a technical issue. The issue was a cultural one. I find the show to be too kitschy for me.
